This election has brought out the worst in people. Family, friends, and strangers insult each other because their ideology does not align. If you are serious about making the world a better place, educate yourself. Pick up a book and read. Read books with different views than yourself. Challenge your understanding and understand the opposing argument. Lashing out at the other person because they have an opposing view show that you lack understanding of the topic. Understand Morality. An opposing view does not make the person evil. It also does not make it right or wrong. Practice common sense. If you call a person a racist, bigot, or homophobe, what makes you think they will want to listen to you? Listen. If you have already formed your arguments before the other person has finished talking, are you truly listening? Let it go. When a wise man argues with a fool, it’s hard to tell who the fool is from a distance. It is better to walk away when you realize the other person is stuck in their ideology.
Lately, I have been letting it go. Ultimately, time is precious. I rather focus on improving my understanding or making me happy.
